DockerHub rate limiting impacts Workspaces creation for cloning of projects
MR: Pending
Description
We use the upstream git container image hosted on DockerHub to clone the projects during workspace creation. With recently announced DockerHub rate limits which came into effect April 1, 2025, our customers might run into some of them. We should mitigate them by doing one/many of the following
- Use a container image hosted on GitLab Container Registry (simplest)
- Allow customers to bring in their own container image of git for cloning
- Eliminate the need for the git container image altogether
